Rated 4 out of 5 by CtBuzz Good value
I like these shorts: they're very well made. They're a little large (- I had bought them because the 38's were skimpy.) These are cut right for the size, making them a bit too large, but I'm keeping them. One problem, though: opening that top button! I suspect the buttonhole was cut too small. That's the problem with ordering by mail.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Reviewer721 Finally! A short rise pair of shorts for men.
Bought each colour for my fiance, who has long looked for shorts with a shorter rise (he likes a tailored look). Success! I bought more pairs - when you find something that fits well....LLBean Customer Service was outstanding through the process. Thank you.

These shorts fit how shorts are supposed to fit. The length is perfect. The waist fits true to size.

My husband wears a 32 waist in many other brands of shorts, but these were much too tight. We ordered a 34 replacement.

These shorts look like they were tailored to fit me. The seat isn't baggy nor butt-hugging. The front lays flat across the abdomen. The legs don't have any excess material to flap in the wind. I can walk or hike comfortably in these. I bought both colors available and would buy other colors if they would be available.

Rated 4 out of 5 by PlainsSpirit Perfect length for us "short legs"
Wish that these would be available with the comfort waist feature, and more colors would certainly be welcome.

Nice pants but the pockets are too shallow. You lose a lot of change and maybe your phone

Rated 4 out of 5 by NewportGuy These fit!!
I read the reviews before and went ahead and ordered what size I am generally at other retailers. I have always struggled with LL Bean sizing as it always seems supersized. These were exactly what I hoped and expected. They were true to size in the description. I am ordering another pair. The length is perfect for working outdoors in the yard, and not that slim that I can't load up the pockets. Hopefully I can find cargo shorts cut the same way. As far as the seams, someone may have a point if these will last.

Rated 2 out of 5 too small
I ordered a pair of these after reading all the reviews saying they were cut very small, and I definitely should have trusted the reviews. These shorts are very small...they seem shorter than they are described (I got the 9" inseam version) and are very tight around the leg. I returned them and probably won't buy shorts from LL Bean for a while because of this. I bought some shorts last year from them that fit great, it seems like they might have changed the cut of their shorts, so unfortunately now I don't trust their sizing.
